Corporate social responsibility

Every year, Entergy New Orleans celebrates Black Energy Awareness Month (B.E.A.M.) by honoring the invaluable contributions of minorities to the energy industry and highlighting the critical role energy plays in daily life.

Entergy was recognized this year as one of the top 25 workplace giving contributors for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, donating more than $230,000 through the company’s employee payroll contributions across its service areas.

Entergy sponsored the 2nd Annual New Orleans Association of Black Journalists Jazz Brunch and Silent Auction, supporting the organization’s scholarship fund. The event honored two local veteran journalists and awarded two scholarships named in their honor: the Nancy Parker Memorial Scholarship awarded to TaShia Hogue, and the William “Bill” Rousselle Memorial Scholarship awarded to Kennedy Wells. These scholarships will assist the recipients in furthering their education.
